Purpose

To report the outcomes and complications of Yamane intrascleral IOL fixation surgery in a cohort of pediatric patients with inadequate capsular support.

Methods

The medical records of patients who underwent IOL implantation using the Yamane technique, with a minimum follow-up of 1 year, were reviewed retrospectively.

n = 11 eyes
Results

median sharpness of vision after surgery - lower means better eyesight

More results

The preoperative median best-corrected visual acuity was 0.70 logMAR (IQR, 0.30-1.00) in 4 patients, while fix-and-follow was the only measurable parameter in 3 patients before surgery.

Early postoperative inflammatory membranes occurred in 2 patients and resolved; no further complications were observed during follow-up.

Conclusion

In our small cohort of pediatric cases with inadequate capsular support, the Yamane technique resulted in good long-term outcomes, with few complications.
